Battery discharge problem
#8
Hi @bcnaz,

Thanks for the tips!

Quote:The Boot order for the Pro phone is different than the original Pine phone,  The Pro gives boot priority to the eMMC...

We're aware of the boot order. You can't boot Linux on a PPPro Developer edition unless you remove the factory Android OS from the eMMC. This is still good advice for those now receiving their Explorer editions.

Quote:As far as holding a charge while the phone is turned off,  This could be a fault with the factory shipped operating system.

In my experience, all distros currently fail to restart properly. This will continue to improve with new releases. Some, like Manjaro, shut down correctly now. You can tell whether the phone is powered off by enabling UART and listening through the headphone jack.

Quote:removing the battery while the modem is running  is NOT recommended

To be clear, what I do is remove the battery after the phone is supposed to have shut down or reset, in case that it's still on. It's faster than connecting headphone jack and listening for UART. If the phone was in fact properly off, the 10-12 second hard shut down press would only turn the phone back on.

Quote:I have purchased a few decent quality batteries on ebay, but they are available through other sources as well online.

Thanks again for the tips! I will lookup those battery threads...
